Life on our farm is simple, but every day is full of real work and blessings. Early in the morning, the fresh air from the fields wakes us up. The farm is quiet, and the only sounds we hear are the birds singing and our chicken moving around the yard.
Near our house, we have several calamansi trees. One morning, my child and I decided to harvest some calamansi. We filled a small basket with the fresh green fruits. My child was happy helping me pick them from the tree. We planned to make fresh calamansi juice because it is good for cough and helps the body feel better. It is always nice to use something natural that grows in our own farm.
Not far from our house is our rice field. When the wind blows, the rice plants move slowly like waves. Looking at the rice field always reminds me how important patience is in farming. Crops take time, care, and hard work before they can be harvested. We will harvest this rice soon because it is already ripe. Ready to harvest.
Around the farm, we also have coconut trees with different varieties. These tall trees stand quietly around our land, giving shade during hot days. Sometimes we harvest coconuts to drink the fresh coconut water, which is very refreshing.
Our animals are also part of our daily farm life. Our chickens freely walk around the yard, scratching the ground and looking for food. We also have a goat that quietly grazes on the grass at the side of the farm. It simply walks around, eating grass and enjoying the open space.
We also have a small fishpond. It is not big, but it helps us when we need food. When we run out of choices for our meal, we catch a few fish to cook for our family. Sometimes we harvest a little and sell it to buy other things we need.
